Reconguring A Virtual Disk
Does my controller support this feature? See Supported Features.
The Recongure task enables you to change the virtual disks properties. For example, you can use this task to add physical disks or change
the RAID level.
Format, Initialize, Slow, And Fast Initialize
Does my controller support this feature? See Supported Features.
The Format, Initialize, Slow Initialize, or Fast Initialize task enables you to erase the les and remove the le systems on a virtual disk.
Some controllers require that you initialize a virtual disk before it can be used.
Canceling Background Initialization
Does my controller support this feature? See Supported Features.
The Cancel Background Initialization task enables you to cancel a background initialization on a virtual disk.
On PERC controllers, background initialization of redundant virtual disks begins automatically after the virtual disk is created. Because the
initialization is run in the background, other processes can continue while the initialization completes.
The background initialization of a redundant virtual disk prepares the virtual disk for parity information and improves write performance. It is
important that the background initialization is allowed to run to completion. You can, however, cancel the background initialization. When
you do so, the controller restarts the background initialization later.
